    I would wait a bit...
    Projecting poss desperation for a job could lower your ability on negotiations.
    But what do I know.

    So if you go with the winery/brewery gig and need product tasters to provide honest feedback - I'll be a volunteer.

    Well during the interview he already told me about the bennifits and he wanted to start me at a certain pay level and as I learn more I would be progressed which I acknowledged I was content with what he was offering. I felt it odd it was even discussed at that point but then when I got home and had an email with the HR lady saying he wanted her to proceed with checking my refferences I saw it as perhaps a very possitive sign. With that being said I don't really see negotiations

    Well I did it. I sent the HR lady, who is also the winemakers wife, an email. I told her I was busy tomorrow with going to a job fair but if at any other time her husband would like me to come and help bottle or with anything else I was willing. I told her I just thought it would be neat to see how things work.

    I guess we will see. It pays about 2/3 what I was makeing which the insurance should help make up a bit of that. I have managed to get a little excited about this regardless of my efforts not to. It is only 9.7 miles from home instead of the 65 miles on way i was driving. I hope this works out but trying very hard not to get my hopes up as history for me has proven they usually get dashed.

    If I say you need brakes you need brakes for a Sticker.

    My mechanics said they were ok.
    Me
    Excessive rotor rust and pads are not touching the rotor.
    Cust.
    My mechanic didn't say anything about that.
    Me
    Is this the same mechanic that said you need a whole new rear crossmember cause a bolt broke and I fixed it in an hour and you saves over $1500 dollars ?
    Cust
    Put the brakes on please.
